    Cauliflower Fried Rice Bowl

    Dec 1, 2014 • Luteal Phase, Main Dish, Sides

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Healthy Cauliflower "Fried" Rice Bowl - vegan + gf - quick, nourishing, delicious and a definite crowd-pleaser! This nutritious vegetable bowl has high-quality plant protein from the edamame and can easily replace your favorite "fried" rice take-out. From The Glowing Fridge.

    Happy December! And Happy Cyber Monday!

    How was your weekend? Hope you had a yummy Thanksgiving and maybe a successful Black Friday?!

    I’m happy to say my first Thanksgiving as a vegan was a major success. My fam was so accommodating and made it super easy for me. I feasted on some plant-based stuffing, cranberry & jalape?o salsa (so YUM), sweet potato and pear casserole, mashed potatoes with vegan butter and a leafy green salad with all the fixings. I didn’t feel stuffed like I have usually felt in the past after a Thanksgiving feast… It was a perfect getaway for the day up in Wisconsin with the fam! 

    I didn’t do any Black Friday shopping this year, but I did stay in pajamas all day and was able to watch Serendipity, my favorite movie of ALL time, besides Endless Love that is. We drove to the city Saturday night to see the beautiful tree at the Daley Plaza and walk around a bit because it was 52 degrees out!! Crazy!! Then on Sunday we put up Christmas lights outside and I even convinced Marty to help me decorate our tree. I couldn’t wait any longer – I love this time of year (minus the feeling frozen part) Did you start decorating yet?!

     

    On to the recipe for today because that is what you are here for 🙂

    A healthy Cauliflower Fried Rice Bowl. It IS possible. And so damn good. Rice is not missed in this healthy dish. Replacing rice with cauliflower may be my favorite swap yet, and no one will even notice a difference. No really. This is one of those recipes where you can trick your loved ones into eating more vegetables and they won’t have a clue, but they will be filled up on veggies and high-quality plant protein from the edamame. I buy the shelled frozen edamame from Trader Joe’s and it’s life-changing!! In order to get the cauliflower into a rice-like consistency, all you have to do is chop it up in the food processor in a couple batches and fry it up with a little coconut oil, tamari (or soy sauce), garlic and fresh lime juice. Then you fry up the veggies in the same pan (I used a wok) and that’s it. This bowl of yumminess is quick, nourishing, flavorful and a definite crowd-pleaser. What’s not to love?

    This is what the Cauliflower Rice looks like!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
